Following this success and leveraging his shipping experience, he created the Liftoff course to help creators bring their products to market. Today, we delve into his new Ollie WordPress block theme, how he plans to monetize it, AI shortcuts and his preference for the long road, his passion for space photography, and what the first order of business would be if he took over at WordPress.

How's that space ride! 🪐🧑🚀
The intro is so cool Rob, it immerses you in the story. Similar to the narration of a full feature film. Very artistic way to start the episode. Mike's voice is great and the subtle music are perfect. Superb experience, congratulations
Great interview. The space part was awesome!
Stoked you enjoyed 🚀
What a great episode, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the great work
Thanks dude, had a lot of fun with the intro edit paired with his thoughts on AI!
I really appreciate how you don’t use cheesy AF thumbnails for these
Thank you Andy! Man, can't tell you how much this comment hits. Took a long time to decide how I want to roll on YT and drew a mental line on what I'm comfortable with. Real convos. Real people. Thumbnail aims to capture the joy of the convo. Nothing more.
@@RobHope@RobHope Dude, I cringe so hard at most thumbnails on UA-cam. I suppose they test these things and people like cringe?? Glad to see you keeping your standards high.
Killer episode !
Awesome, stoked you enjoyed in Jarbo!
Mate! Love seeing these sessions more frequently now! ❤❤
